Lawyers for $100

I know that "books for $10" means books that sell for $10.
Could we do the same with people? For example,
lawyers for $100.
(I think it become lawyers who work for $100, right?)

Wiil people think that's lawyers who sell for $100?

Hi Anon; You don't buy a lawyer, you buy their services. Lawyers and other professionals usually have hourly rates, which they might advertise. Sometimes they will work on contingency, which is a percentage, not a set rate.

Lawyers - $100 per hour/ day / month / first consultation...
Designers - $100 per hour/ per week / per page....
